The perfect combination

 

Long, long ago, before “The Earth” was created, there was a reunion were the gods of fire, wind, earth and water were discussing about who was the best and who could create the best planet. To find out, they had a competition in which all of them were creating their own world. The goddess, Mother Nature, also wanted to participate but she was rejected by all of the other gods, they told her that she couldn’t participate in the competition because she was female so she could just watch. Then the match started, the first one was the god of fire saying that fire can burn everything and then the god of water stepped in saying that water beats fire, in that moment the god of earth said that earth can beat water by making earthquakes so he should win, at the end the god of wind try to convince the god of earth that tornados were greater than earthquakes. They kept going like that for days and no one could decide which one was better, then Mother Nature tried to help them saying that they needed a female touch but they ignored her once again. After those weeks without any final decision they realized that they needed each other to make the perfect planet so they united their powers and created a world made out of the four elements, the planet was great, it was full of beautiful landscapes, waterfalls, volcanoes, different climates and seasons, they completed each other but something was still missing in this so called perfect world.  Mother Nature stepped in once again to remind them that they needed her help, that they could not accomplish what they wanted without her, and she told them “you are wasting your time, your world is beautiful but it will never be perfect without my help, it is empty and senseless” the gods thought about what she said for a couple of days and they decided to give her a chance so they called her and they ordered her to make her input in their world, she said that to do so she wanted something in return, that she wanted to be treated like one of the rest and that she would be in charge of the planet because without her this world would never be perfect. At the beginning they all laughed about the suggestion and she left angry but she knew that eventually they would beg for her help, they were all bored and nothing amazing or interesting happened for months. When they all finally got sick of this situation they called her for one last time and told her that they would accept her conditions because they realized that she was as powerful and important as them so, she agreed. She created all of the animals, plants, people and living things on this new earth and finally everyone got what they wanted and the earth became a perfect place full of life.
